Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

I know, I know! Some of you are saying NO WAY! I’m not eating cauliflower “mashed potatoes”. I’m going to be honest – people tell me I make the best mashed potatoes in the whole world. No joke. However, when it comes the season where food and parties are everywhere, it’s really important to try to substitute where you can. So why not offer a side of cauliflower mashed potatoes? You can still make regular mashed potatoes, but this will give people the option. I have to tell you, I make mine totally different than most recipes I see. First off, I steam almost all my vegetables all the time. If you want to make one investment in a cooking utensil, get yourself a good steamer. I like steaming because it preserves much of the nutrients. Microwaves and boiling basically kill all the nutrients. The less you cook stuff the better – and steaming seems to be less invasive. I’m going to admit, these aren’t rich and thick, but they are creamy and packed with flavor. I also don’t load mine up with cream and other ingredients. I basically steam the pieces until they are soft and mash them. I let folks add butter, salt and pepper on their own. So – let me see what you think of my cauliflower mashed potatoes.
